1986 – 1993
Evolving into an EPC Turnkey Contractor
In 1985, Rotary set itself off on a path to becoming a major turnkey for bulk storage terminal and other facilities. The company began to seek independency from main contractors and seek to secure contracts directly from owners. This prompted the company to invest approximately $1.0 million in computerized designing systems. Subsequently, the company secured its first direct contract with Van Ommeren Tank Terminal (VOTTS), a multinational product storage facility operator. This followed up with a series of other turnkey projects with VOTTS including Pit 6 in 1988, Pit 7 in 1989, and Pit 18 in 1990.
With its ability to meet the multinational product storage facility operators’ standards and specifications, the company was able to secure more turnkey projects from the likes of Oiltanking and Tankstore as well as take on the construction works for projects by Mobil Oil (Singapore), Glaxo, and Petronas.
